Abstract

Laser dissection microscopy was applied to isolate endothelial cells from tumors obtained from mice treated with TNF-alpha. RNA integrity was demonstrated from whole sections and dissected cells after acetone fixation and hematoxylin staining. RT-PCR for GAPDH, CD31, VCAM-1, ICAM-1 and E-selectin was successfully performed on these samples. These data demonstrate the feasibility of analyzing local endothelial cell responses in diseased tissues at the level of gene expression.
